💎 OKC -3.5 -115 ( 1u )

The Miami Heat are capable of beating anybody despite the missing players and this line really is telling, when I see this line it SCREAMS Heat, so they're 100% a interesting look in the underdog role, especially at home here. However, being without Butler, Lowry, and Matin is a big deal to me and when they have to go up against one of the best teams in the league and one of my favorite teams to bet on in all sports, well its hard for me to get on the Miami side. Even if everything tells me this is a Heat spot! OKC is simply one of the best at Fattest cash cows in the NBA with a 23-12 ATS record. At full strength and a on hand taxi service that drives us to the cash window almost every game, I have to get behind OKC in this spot.
